TTC 35+ Thread 13 (hopefully not unlucky for some!)

[thislittlebird]

I didn't realise the old thread had reached capacity until I hit 1000 so here's a new one. Thread 13 but feels more like 130 for me. New folks welcome, some of us have been hanging out here way too long and would like to alight already!

I've tagged a few of you...

How's everyone doing now? I'm cd73 🙄🤣

@Marvellouslymadmum nothing to report here. Failed FET as you know from the donkeys thread and now what appears to be early ovulation maybe??? I will put that down as a result of the IVF meds. The hormones have certainly settled down but things are different since Feb for sure.

oh @Marvellouslymadmum thats so frustrating, can they do anything or do you just have to wait it out?

Does that help bring your next cycle forward @thislittlebird or just an anomaly? Did you say you see them again next month but can’t be sooner?

Bit of news from me - I had my transfer back in April and today I was able to have my viability scan. It’s still very early days but there is a heartbeat so I’m officially 7 weeks pregnant and discharged to my local hospital for midwife appointment next week. We’re not getting carried away we totally know there’s a lot that can still go wrong but trying to enjoy the relief of today at least. I absolutely understand this is really difficult so I won’t be talking about it here unless there’s something anyone wants to know about the process or anything but I’ll stick around because A) it’s so early I still feel like we’re in ttc world and b) I want to keep up with you guys if you’ll have me x

@thislittlebird
I don't think I've any hormones left they all seem to have deserted me!

@Carla2601 I phoned the secretary today and the consultant phoned me back and said if I'm definitely not pregnant to take the clomid anyway! I'm a bit confused by this advice as I've never heard anyone be told that before!
Oooh congratulations that's such good news! I do hope everything goes well for you and of course! X

@Marvellouslymadmum that is strange isn’t it! Did they say why? I don’t know anything about clomid but I also have never heard of that. Well I hope you get af soon (weird thing to say haha) so you can start over. Thank you xx

@Carla2601 I don't know if I should take
It and hope or wait and hope for af 😂 x

@Marvellouslymadmum youve got a 10/10 sense of humour and some enviable resilience 😂. I wish I had even the slightest bit of useful advice to offer but I don’t, sorry! Keep us posted though I feel like something surely has to give soon!!

@Carla2601 haha thanks! I find a sense of humour definitely keeps me a little sane in this ttc journey! I've finally found a little in for on the net - a lot if people were given norethisterone to bring on a bleed then take it BUT I did find a couple of people who were told to take it without and apparently it can help with thicker lining too so I think I'll phone gp in the morning for a quick 2nd opinion and go from there 🤷🏼‍♀️
If they tell me to just wait I may go a little stir crazy, especially if it's double the length of the first 50mg dose as I'm on double the dose - that would be 120 days 😮

@Marvellouslymadmum any update on your second opinion? Surely you can’t go 120 days!

@Carla2601 I could t talk to the go until Monday as she's busy, so I'm just temping and opk for now to see if I can work anything out then will see what she says

@Marvellouslymadmum good luck on Monday and hope you’re having a lovely weekend x

@Carla2601 thank you, I've a full day training tomorrow for my dance fitness qualification so hoping to loose a couple of pounds! Hope you're having a great weekend too x

@Marvellouslymadmum that sounds fun! I’m at a family 40th sober….slightly less fun 😂

@Carla2601 it was fun but very tiring! Hoping to get some classes up and running now to help me loose some weight!

Good evening all. So joyous to hear of some people getting off this group, bring on more happy news!
Last Wednesday our MRI consultant confirmed we will go forward for IVF. We have no physical issues.
Husband has 3 morphology (top notch!)
My AMh is 29.8 (top notch!)
After 2 years of trying, we've had one confirmed pregnancy that end in miscarriage.
Consultant said based on our age and "unexplained infertility" we'd have 30-35% of a life birth.
Then told us that NHS funding in many areas had gone from 3 to 1 funded cycle?! "Covid"
And that my Greek partner (who had lived here for 9 years and works in the NHS) has to go through "overseas" checks, thanks Brexit.
Anyone else had"normal" results, going for first IVF cycle soon?

Hey guys, our IVF starts in August, anyone know of any good threads for that?
How are you all?

Hi @ShirleyValentineManc, I’m not very active on here now because there’s not many of us left but there’s another thread me and @Marvellouslymadmum are on called All Aboard the Donkey Cart and similar infertile donkey (as opposed to fertile unicorn lol) themed things, and another one I’m on called Fertility Appointments and Beyond which is very active.

I’m doing my second transfer this month, ivf continues! Good to hear you’re starting in august, is it nhs?

@thislittlebird yes NHS. Cool I'll find the donkey cart

Good luck @ShirleyValentineManc and @thislittlebird i know how nerve wracking a time it is and I’ll be thinking about you and sending good vibes

@ShirleyValentineManc ooh that's good that you get to go for ivf soon! I'm afraid I'm not on any ivf threads just a few with some ladies doing it like the donkey cart lol but good luck!!

@thislittlebird exciting that your second round is coming soon!

Thanks @Carla2601 !
